Abstract
Huai yam is a model of “medicinal and edible homology” plants in China that have been used to treat Alzheimer's disease (AD) for a long time. This study prepared the AD model using 5 × FAD transgenic mice, explore the active ingredients and mechanism of Huai yam on AD using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) ligand fishing technology and biological methods, and provide an experimental basis for the clinical treatment of AD. Yam and affinity component (1-methoxycarbonyl-β-carboline) detected by SPR technology improved cognitive ability and neuronal damage, transformed immune cells from peripheral blood, reduced brain inflammation and apoptosis, and upregulated the levels of autophagy via ERβ. Moreover, 1-methoxycarbonyl-β-carboline also regulated metabolic disorders in 5 × FAD transgenic mice. These data provide a further pharmacological basis for the clinical application of Huai yam to prevent AD and help to understand the herbal function and “homology of medicine and food”.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Functional Foods continues with the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review. We give authors the possibility to publish their top-quality papers in a well-established leading journal in the food and nutrition fields. The Journal will keep its rigorous criteria to screen high impact research addressing relevant scientific topics and performed by sound methodologies.
The Journal of Functional Foods aims to bring together the results of fundamental and applied research into healthy foods and biologically active food ingredients.
The Journal is centered in the specific area at the boundaries among food technology, nutrition and health welcoming papers having a good interdisciplinary approach. The Journal will cover the fields of plant bioactives; dietary fibre, probiotics; functional lipids; bioactive peptides; vitamins, minerals and botanicals and other dietary supplements. Nutritional and technological aspects related to the development of functional foods and beverages are of core interest to the journal. Experimental works dealing with food digestion, bioavailability of food bioactives and on the mechanisms by which foods and their components are able to modulate physiological parameters connected with disease prevention are of particular interest as well as those dealing with personalized nutrition and nutritional needs in pathological subjects.
